What would you have done to the FAB5

Now we all can sit here and say I would have knocked the hell out of of Karissa and etc. but realistically, what would you have done as a 16 year old student at that school? There are obvious reason you couldnt even get near these girls or even scared them.

Keep in mind that you are in a small minority group vs the powerful elites.
It's not like you could band up a few students with the same mind set willing to risk their education and future to beat down some girl and you would constantly have to get into meaningless cat fights day in and day out until u graduated.

Could you keep up with the non stop cat fight for the next 3 years of your HS career? Once you open the can of worms vs the FAB5, it's on for life.

So what would you do? Secret pranks? Anonymous attacks?

Same here. If I were the superintendent, you know what I would have done to Ashley Benson. blackmail for...

If they ever did anything threatening to me or whatever, I would beat the crap out of them.

Plan A or plan B?

More importantly I think what would you have done to the principal? I have a feeling that the real life principal: Linda Theret was under contract which made the superintendent practically powerless to do anything about her! Her daughter who was also one of her students (how senseless is that?) was the ringleader of this five-girl team who were running the school instead of her and no matter their ages or roles in the school the McKinney district might as well have asked them to attend all their meetings, administer their policies etc. instead of the principal in their very own way!! If I were a sixteen year old student at MNHS at that time like your asking I probably couldn't have focused on anything besides what those creeps were doing and how the academic losers running the district didn't do squat to help. I would have looked for proper legal counsel to turn the situation around once and for all and bring the town down on it's chin if necessary. Over the years students across the USA have committed suicide as a result of cracking under pressure from bullying and it's situations like this that enforce the concept that bullying is normal and should not be disciplined (at least not heavily). I've read a lot of comments online from people wandering what Karrissa is up to now which I wouldn't mind knowing myself. Linda then became the director of curriculum in another school district (the superintendent there said that he knew her for many years and trusted her) which she recently resigned from and now the question becomes who else would hire her?

Long live the 80's!

I graduated from a small 12 grade school in 1976 (34 graduates), and the principal's daughter and niece were in my class. Our principal yelled at his daughter like he did everybody else - sometimes even more. She was smart, but I feel some teachers gave her As because they were afraid not to. She graduated 2nd in the class, the niece was 3rd, and I was 4th. They were both intelligent girls, but the principal's daughter was very mischevous. I hung our with her some, because i figured if we got into trouble it wouldn't be too bad.

We had A averages in Geometry, but the teacher made us take our final exam because we misbehaved in class. I didn't care because I love math so much. I did get the math award upon graduation, so I outdid her on something.

Our principal's daughter and niece were both cheerleaders, but they didn't act like the jerks in this movie. They weren't the most attractive girls either, and I wonder if they were cheerleaders because of who they were. Our 2nd grade teacher's daughter was also in our class, and she was a cheerleader. She wasn't thin either. So yeah, who you are definitely makes a difference sometimes.

okay if i was princapal i would have expelled them due to the fact that they did everything that resulted in grounds for expulsion from school and everything that voilated the mckennley high school policy like the privacy of teachers and let me just say this when they disrespected the school when they went into that adult sex toy shop wearing their cheerleading uniforms i wanted to knock their faces into the ground i agree with mrs carr when you are in your cheerleading uniform you represent the school and the schools reputation i can not beleave that they atempted to ruin that schools reputaion like that second if i was 16 years old and they had harassed me like they did some of the students i would have pressed charges

Expulsion; write a letter to every college or university or place of work that I would find out about. Take it to the superintendent, but never make it public. I would make sure every official of every nearby school knew how these girls flamboyantly didn't give a care.
